Job 35
1 Moreover Elihu continued, saying,
Ary mbola niteny ihany Eliho ka nanao hoe:
2 “Do you think this is just when you say, 'My right before God'?
Ataonao va fa marina ny nanaovanao hoe: Ny fahamarinako mihoatra noho ny an’ Andriamanitra?
3 For you ask, 'What use is it to me?' and, 'Would I be better off if I had sinned?'
Fa hoy ianao: Mahasoa ahy manao ahoana moa? Ary inona no soa azoko mihoatra noho ny avy amin’ ny fahotako?
4 I will answer you, both you and your friends.
Izaho no hiteny hamaly anao Mbamin’ ny namanao.
5 Look up at the sky, and see it; see the sky, which is higher than you.
Jereo ary ny lanitra ka izahao; Ary tsinjovy iry habakabaka, avo loatra iny ka tsy takatrao.
6 If you have sinned, what harm do you do to God? If your transgressions pile up high, what do you do to him?
Raha manota ianao, moa mahefa inona aminy? Ary raha maro ny fahotanao, mampaninona Azy moa izany?
7 If you are righteous, what can you give to him? What will he receive from your hand?
Raha marina ianao, dia hahazoany inona moa izany? Na inona no horaisiny avy amin’ ny tananao?
8 Your wickedness may hurt a man, as you are a man, and your righteousness might benefit another son of man.
Mihatra amin’ ny olona tahaka anao ihany ny ratsy ataonao; Ary mihatra amin’ ny olombelona ihany ny fahamarinanao.
9 Because of many acts of oppression, people cry out; they call for help from the arms of mighty men.
Noho ny habiazan’ ny fampahoriana no itarainan’ ny olona; Eny, minananana izy noho ny sandrin’ ny mahery,
10 But no one says, 'Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night,
Nefa tsy misy manao hoe: Aiza Andriamanitra, Mpanao ahy, Izay mahatonga fiderana amin’ ny alina,
11 who teaches us more than he teaches the beasts of the earth, and who makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?'
Izay manome fahalalana antsika mihoatra noho ny an’ ny biby ambonin’ ny tany, dia Izay manome fahendrena antsika mihoatra noho ny an’ ny voro-manidina?
12 There they cry out, but God gives no answer because of the pride of evil men.
Eny, mitaraina mafy ireo (fa tsy mamaly Izy) noho ny fireharehan’ ny ratsy fanahy.
13 God will certainly not hear a foolish cry; the Almighty will pay no attention to it.
Ny fitarainam-poana dia tsy mba henoin’ Andriamanitra, ary ny Tsitoha tsy mandinika izany.
14 How much less will he answer you if you say that you do not see him, that your case is before him, and that you are waiting for him!
Na dia lazainao fa tsy mahita azy aza ianao, efa mby eo anatrehany ny ady, koa tsy maintsy miandry Azy ianao.
15 Now you say that his anger does not punish, and he does not take even a litte notice of transgression.
Koa raha saingy tsy mihatra ny fahatezerany, moa dia tsy fantany tsara koa va ny fihaikana?
16 So Job opens his mouth only to speak foolishness; he piles up words without knowledge.”
Mba miloa-bava foana anefa Joba ary manao teny maro tsy amim-pahalalana.
